Sonny Burton didn’t kill anybody, but Alabama is set to execute him

The state of Alabama knows that Charles "Sonny" Burton didn’t kill anyone. He wasn’t there when his accomplice in a robbery pulled the trigger. But unless Governor Kay Ivey or the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, Burton will be executed on March 12th via nitrogen gas. NBC News’ Dan Slepian spoke to him from death row, and a juror who thinks she made a grave mistake. He reports on the legal doctrine called "Felony Murder" that locks up thousands.

There is absolutely NO reason we should be in the business of killing people. Murder is murder, even when sanctioned and perpetrated by the government.
